Vegetable Kolhapuri is a very popular Kolhapuri dish which is rich in vegetables and spices. Usually served with Chapati, poori or any Indian Breads. Kolhapuri is a city in Maharashtra and this is one of the famous and popular dish. Also the good part of this dish is the veggies. We are going to add many vegetables and make this dish really healthy and yummy.Spice is on the little higher side in this dish and I love this spicier gravy with Indian Breads. This subzi is good with fried rice or pulao also. Its a way to make our kids eat the veggies. But make sure you add less spice if you want your kids to eat the veggies.

Finely chop the onions and tomatoes and set them aside. Slice the carrots and beans. Cube the capsicum and potato and set them aside. First lets make our masala. Heat a pan and add all the masala ingredients except cashew and dry fry them till coconut turns light brown color and all the whole masalas give a nice aroma.

Allow it to cool and add it to the mixer along with cashews. Grind these masalas to a nice paste by adding little water. Now our Kolhapuri masala is ready. The coconut with sesame seeds and other whole garam masala gives a wonderful flavour to the dish

Heat oil in a pan and cumin seeds. When the cumin seeds starts to crackle, add finely chopped onions along with a pinch of salt.

Add red chilli powder, coriander powder, salt and garam masala and saute them nicely in medium flame. Add 1/3 cup of water and cover the pan with lid and allow the tomatoes to cook completely and becomes mushy.

When the tomatoes are nicely cooked and becomes mushy, add the kolhapuri paste which we grind and give a good mix. Allow the masala to cook in low flame for 5 minutes. Next, add cubed potatoes to the pan and mix well and cover the pan with the lid and allow the potatoes to cook for 10 minutes.

Then, add the rest of veggies and mix well. Conventionally, this subzi is cooked in the pan in medium heat until all the veggies are cooked fully. But, I had taken the whole subzi in a vessel and kept it in cooker and allowed 2 whistles.

After the pressure is fully released, remove the vessel and keep the flame in medium. Add the cubed paneer and mix well and allow the paneer to get incorporated in the subzi for 5 minutes. Finally garnish with butter and switch off the flame.

Yummy and spicy Vegetable Kolhapuri Recipe is now ready to serve with any Indian Breads.
